> 3 dayIve seen Posca pens used on many YouTube channels from artists that I follow, so thats what I went for when I needed to make a gift for my cousins baby shower. I was worried when I bought the chalkboard that the bumpier painted plastic as I call it would be difficult to write on. However, the Posca pens glided right along! The amount of paint that came out was perfect. I was worried with the bumpy surface that too much would come out and it would smear, but that never happened. I also like this size as you can do small details (like the thin circles and smaller writing), but can also do larger areas of paint (like the name and hearts) easily without having to push the pen constantly for more paint. Pros: *easy to start paint and get the pens going *vibrant colors, large variety *these fine points do thin lines, but can fill in larger areas quickly enough *large variety of colors to choose from Cons: Not really a con...but here is what I could come up with: *I didnt find it to be a problem, but some people who are just doing one quick project may not like the price point. However, I find it worth it for the quality and variety included. If you arent sure, Id recommended getting a smaller pack to try first, but these were worth the money! Ill use them some more and report back if I find any issues!

> 3 dayI previous bought a cheaper brand of paint pens and when trying to use them the paint would bleed out onto my projects. It was frustrating because it happened inconsistently. I was afraid these would do the same. I decided to finally splurge and buy these and I am so HAPPY! They work so well! I have used them a bunch and not once has the paint bleed out when I was using them like the previous ones I bought. I love the different size pen options too. I will be buying only Posca pens for my rock painting projects from now on!

> 3 dayBought these as a gift for my boyfriend who’s an artist. He absolutely loves them, posca are amazing paint markers with a soft and not so harsh nib. Which is great because they wouldn’t shred up the paper. Highly recommend them A+++ Pros: - you don’t have to shake em after every use - very pigments - odorless - last a pretty long time Cons: - some lighter color don’t cover up to well (have to layer)

> 3 daySo I gave in and decided to try acrylic paint pens because I couldnt locate the huge plastic tub of brand new, never opened bottles of acrylic paint. The tub is somewhere in my craft studio, and that place is like a snake pit - I cant find anything! ANYway, I ordered three different sets of Posca Paint Pens - the 0.7 mm extra-fine pen tips and the 1.8/2.5mm medium bullet tip pens., as well as the black and white variety pack (sizes range from 0.7 to 8mm chisel tip to 15mm big mama jama). Takes a bit to get all the wrappers off. Then you need to burp the tip (hold the pen with the tip pointing up, and with your thumb, press down to get rid of the air thats settled between the inner paint skin and the new felt/plastic tip inside where you cant see it). While burping is fun, this is tedious. And can leave you with bruised thumb tips. Yeah. Its a thing. Once theyve been burped, the real non-fun part begins: you gotta prime them. You can shake, shake, shake senora, shake it all around, but you should have a piece of notebook paper or old foam core (I used foam core) so that once youve shaken the snot out of them, you can press down on the paper a few dozen times to coax the paint into the tip. Warning: you can and will poke through the foam core board with the fine tip pens, so be sure youre doing this on a surface that you dont care about - otherwise, itll end up looking like it has the measles once youre done. Youve probably read other reviews that say on certain pens you can pull the tips out and turn them around if they become frayed. I saw the same reviews. And I remember thinking, oh great - Im gonna spend this kind of money on paint pens that arent gonna last very long at all before I gotta swap the tips, and then have to get more pens sooner than later. Well, lemme tell ya, Ive had these for over 2 months, with daily heavy use, and Ive only got one tip that I should probably flip but havent because I can still use it for larger coverage areas. So, dont freak out. Theyll last a good long while. One bit of advice I learned was, dont push the pens away from you when drawing/filling/lining with them. The pens want to flow, and they will if you remember to pull them towards you, and pull them gently. Sure, rocks (in my case) have uneven surfaces and textures, but taking it a bit slower when it comes to outlining with a fine tip pen, youll discover your pen doesnt skip or leave little eyelash-length splats or flecks. Another pointer is, if youre lettering with these pens and you make a mistake/paint blobs out, if you keep a few clean Q-tips/cotton swabs nearby, you can pop one into your mouth to get it a little moist, and swipe away the problem. The very cool thing about Posca Paint Pens is that, once they dry (and they dry very fast! bonus!) you can go right in with another color and have that color show up bright and clear. The pigment is thick and unless youre trying to make white stripes on a solid dark background, one coat will suffice. You *can* blend with the Poscas. Not very well, because they dry so fast. BUT! You CAN put enough paint down by allowing it to puddle/pool a bit with your first color, then come in with the second/lighter shade and swirl/blend to your desired shade. Dont worry if you get color on your pen tip. Itll come right off after a few squigglies on a scrap piece of paper. Do some curly-cues and once the other paint is visually off the tip, press down to get the pens paint color to come back to the surface. Voila! Read around on other reviews to see how to get dried Posca Paint Pen residue off your clothes. It will come off finished furniture with a little elbow grease and WD-40; unfinished furniture, not so much. This stuff soaks right in and its impossible to get out - so you might as well just paint the whole tabletop since youve already got your paint out! Hope this was helpful. The Poscas are expensive, but youre getting a high quality product. The writing on the pens labels is minuscule and in Japanese, and while youre thinking hey, I can keep these in their cute little crayon type upright box, nah forget that noise. Just dumpem in a small plastic container, throw in a few Q-tips and maybe whats left of an old notebook youve had lying around, and then tote the whole thing to your favorite chair, break out the (clean) rocks and start painting!
